.To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, GRACE S. Zick, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York city, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful lmprovements in Head-Scarfs, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a head covering or scarf adapted to protect and secure the wearers hat and her hair, or the hair when no hat is worn, and its object is to provide a simple and adaptable device of this class which shall present an attractive appearance when in use. Articles of the kind are especially adapted to be worn in automobile travel.

Of the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a perspective view showing my improved scarf applied to the wearer, with the ends left untied. Fig. 2 represents the same with the ends tied and the edges secured. Fig. 3 represents a rear elevation. Fig. 4 represents a plan view. Fig. 5 represents a plan view of the patterns or blanks.

In its preferred form as shown, my improved scarf consists of a hat-covering section 10 and a head-covering section 11, which might be made out of a single piece of material but are preferably cut in two pieces and stitched together by their middle inner-edge portions along the seam 12. When so made in two pieces, the invention is not confined to a permanent joining along the line 12. The section 10, which is of greater transverse length than the section 11 and provided with wide free ends, is adapted to go over the wearers hat and down at the sides of her head, while the shorter section 11, which I prefer to make approximately crescent-shaped as shown, encircles the wearers head under the hat brim inside of the downwardly-extending portions of section 10. The blank for section 10 is recessed at 13, 13 in its end portions (Fig. 5), and the edges of the recesses stitched together to make the two seams or darts 14, for the purpose of reducing the amount of material in the end portions to allow for a smaller knot when tied as shown in Fig. 2, but with a light or thin material the fabric might be left the full width, and it will be understood that these end portions may be of any desired length.

IThis blank is also preferably recessed as at 15, 15 and the edges of the recesses stitched together to make the seams 16, whereby the hat-covering part is somewhat shaped or fashioned to conform to the hat crown. Across the ends of these latter seams, from the angles where the seam 12 terminates, the edge of the section 10 is preferably gathered in sheaths or hems 17 around elastic strips 18 which tend to shorten the front edge at these points. Each front edge also has on the lower side of its gathered hem 17 a member 19 of an ordinary snap fastener. The rear edge of the blank is also slightly recessed at 2O and the margins gathered in sheaths or hems 21, 22 around elastic strips 23, the gathered hem 21 having on its lower side members 24 of snap fasteners, and the hem 22 having on its upper side the complemental snapfastener members 25.

The blank for the part 11 is of the shape shown in Fig. 5, and the edges of its U- shaped front recess 26 are gathered in a sheath or hem 27 around an elastic strip 28 whose ends project beyond the horns 34 of the section 11. 29 are members of snap fasteners on the upper side of this hem complemental to the members 19. The ends of the elastic strip 28 are provided with ordinary adjusting-buckles 30 and looped respectively through the eye of a hook 31 and a ring 32, whereby said ends may be separably connected.

33 are wings or flaps forming parts of the member 11 at either end of the seam 12, to go over the hat brim.

In adjusting this scarf to the wearer, the portion 10 will be draped over the wearers hat and the seam 12 brought to the front edge of the hat brim, whereupon the portion 11 is caused to encircle her head either entirely below the front hair as shown, or partially above it, the ends of the elastic band 28 being connected at the back of the head by means of the hook 31 and ring 32. The depending ends of the portion 10 may then be tied in a knot under the chin so as to hold down the sides of the hat-brim and worn this way without further closure; or if it be desired to secure additional protection against the entrance of dust or rain, the snap-fastener members 19 and 29 may be connected so as to join the elastic hems or edge-portions 17 and 27 at the sides of the wearers forehead, thus drawing the front or face-framing edges of the scarf closely around her face as shown in Fig. 2. Previous to making this connection the wings 33 on the member' ll are preferably tucked up over the edge of the hat brim, between the latter and the member 10. Both the hat and hair are thus secured against disarrangement and thoroughly protected, the elastic strips in the hems or edge portions 17 and 27 contributing to this security as well as to the comfort of the wearer. if a comparatively narrow hat is worn, allowing the rear edge of the portion l0 to reach a low point, the back hair will be afforded full protection without securing the elastic hems or edges 2l, 22 of the rear cleft7 but witha broad-brimmed hat it will generally be found desirable to connect the fastener members 24, 25 and close this cleft.

rllhis head covering may also be used as a hood without any hat, and adjusted in substantially the same manner as when a hatv is worn.

It will be understood that some features such as the elastic edge strips, and the rear cleft in the member 107 might be omitted, various changes made in the shape of the parts, the character of the fasteners and other details, or said fasteners could be altogether omitted. without departing from my invention in a broad sense.

claim:

l.. A head-scarf comprising two sections of different length attached to each other by their middle inner-edge portions, the longer section being adapted to cover the wearers hat and having wide free ends adapted to tie under the chin and hold down the sides of the hat-brim, the shorter section being substantially crescent-shaped and adapted to protect the wearers hair and the under side of the hat-brim and to substantially encircle the head inside of said hat-covering section, and means for securing together the free ends of said crescent-shaped section at the back of the head.

2. A. head-scarf comprising two sections of different length attached to each other by their middle inner-edge portions, the

Copies of this patent may be obtained for longer section being adapted to cover the wearers hat and having free ends adapted to be secured together under the chin, the shorter section being adapted to underlie the lower side of the hat-brim inside of the hat-covering section and provided with free flaps adapted to be tucked under the latter and around the edge of the hat-brim, and means for connect-ing the free ends of said shorter section at the back of the head.

A head-scarf comprising two sections of different length attached to each other by their middle inner-edge portions, the longer section being adapted to cover the wearers hat and having wide free ends adapted to tie under the chin, the shorter section being adapted to encircle the head inside of the hat-covering portion and having means for connecting its ends at the jack of the head, said scarf having elasticV face-framing edges provided with complemental fastener members on the respective sections at the points where they cross each other for drawing the sides of the hat-covering portion close in to the face.

4. A head scarf comprising a head-encircling portion having one edge shaped to lit aroundlthe head of the wearer and provided with mea-ns for connecting its ends at the back of the head, and a hat-covering portion `connected with said head-encircling portion and having free ends projecting beyond the side edges of the latter and adapted to be tied under the chin of the wearer, the rear edges of said hat covering portion being formed wit-h a recess and having complemental separable fastening devices adapted to connect the sides of said recess.

ln testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, this 29th day of September` GRACE S. ZlCK.
